Second chapter of I thought this was a highschool! Okay, about 30 minutes after posting this story, I got a review. I don't know how long this will last, but okay. Again, I thank Neppi-chan for her help on this story, unfortunately, I can't tell you to go read her stuff, since she is not a writer! You should check out her profile though, it is interesting.

"A halloween ball?" I look at Tamaki, who is going on and on about a halloween ball that the host club is going to host. I look at Kyoya, who is looking like he is going to have a heart attack. In other words, Tamaki didn't talk about this to Kyoya before hand. We are in free period right now, and Theo is trying to get his homework from yesterday done before pre-calculus.
"Yes! It is for anyone who wants to attend, from middle school to highschool! It will be huge! Everyone has to wear masks, and party gowns, so no one will be able to tell who is who! Well, maybe except for you and Theo, since you have blue hair..." I smile, and Kyoya makes a face.
"Tamaki, if we are going to host a ball, I would like it if you told me before hand. It should also be for customers only, so I am sorry Miss Stafford, but you would not be able to attend." I roll my eyes at this, since he is hinting at how I have been here for almost a month, and I haven't tried to go to the host club. I do have family, but Toxi, Axel, Vecci, and Sachii have already been. Only Art and Anna haven't, along with me. They also goot Theo to become a host, and since everyone else have gone, I have to take Art and Anna home. Mom and dad should also be home today with the two new adopted children, who they have refused to reveal anything about except for they are both in elementary.
"Sorry, Mom and Dad are coming home today with two new kids. I swear, soon there are going to be 20 kids, and we will over power the parents. Besides, I have to take Art and Anna home. I promised Art I would help her with her art." I smile a little, and Tamaki looks at me confused. Probably trying to figure out why I said art so much. I never really bothered to explain our family, and neither did Theo.
"Why don't you take them with you to the club? They must be old enough. I also heard that your parents were on the 7 pm flight, which means they won't be home until after club hours. I'm sure your sisters would love to see the club." Kyoya smiles, like he is already planning something. I sigh, and give in.
"Fine. I can help Art at you club. I am sure Anna would love to make everything symmetrical anyways."
"No! My little sister is not coming to the host club to be harassed by you guys!" Theo appears out of no where, and I give another sigh. Putting on my puppy dog face, I look at Theo.
"But Theo~! I wanted to see this club you talk so much about. Besides, it isn't like they are going to rape me." I tilt my head to the side, smiling. Theo gives me a glare, and starts trying to whisper to me.
"Remember what happened last time you went to a club full of pretty boys? They all-"
"You promised to never mention that! Besides, you'll be there, and it isn't like Toxi and Axel, and the rest won't be there. They won't let that happen again!" I push him away from me, and get up.
"I'm going to go read in the rose maze, I would rather no one followed me." I stomp out of the room with my bag, and head down the hall to the doors. I open hem and head over to the rose maze, heading in and making a few turns so that I would be hopelessly lost. Maybe this way they won't be able to find me. I walk down a path, and see a moss covered area in the shrubbery. If it wasn't for my excellent eye sight, it would have looked like another piece of the rose wall, but I push away the moss to reveal a hidden gazebo, with some benches for people to sit on.
I sit down, and pull out my book. There is just enough light for me to read, so I start reading my book, ignoring the noise of the outside. Soon, I hear the bell for classes to change, so I leave and retrace my steps, remembering perfectly what steps I took. When I get out, there are two boys standing in font of me. One is kinda tall and lanky, while the other one is equally as tall, but a little bit more muscled. They both look me up and down before smirking.
"Hi princess, want to come with us? We just got free period, we could have some fun." He winks, and I make a face. I walk past them, talking over my shoulder.
"Sorry, but I got pre-calculus. See ya." I walk away, and enter the school building. Kids are lounging around, waiting the ten minutes that we get inbetween classes. I enter my classroom where Theo is pacing back and forth in worry.
"Geneva! Don't do that! You had me worried to death!" He hugs me, and I groan. Leave it to Theo to expect the worst.
"Gosh Theo, I just went to the maze to read. What did you think? I went and broke my leg?
"You don't understand! Classes have been canceled for the rest of the day due to halloween, so the host club is starting early! I didn't want you to come back to an empty-"
"Sheesh! Calm down Theo. Let me go get Art and Ana then, and we will go to the club. I actually do know where it is." I get him to let go of me, and turn around. I run out of the room and head to the middle school, where Art and Anna are outside, Anna already messing with her hairties, which are purple today.
"Hey guys, we got invited to the host club. I can help you with your art there, okay Art?" They both get up, and follow me to the host club room. There, I open the doors to see the host club entertaining guests. Art hides underneath her neko hoodie, and I just smile at this. Kyoya sees us, and gets up, walking over.
"You finally made it. Now, which one of you is Anna?" He looks at Art and Anna, and I realize he doesn't know everything about our family as I thought he knew.
"I'm Anna. This room doesn't look right. The tea should be over there..." She starts talking, and Kyoya smirks. He finally found someone who is willing to move stuff around in his club room. While she is talking, Kyoya points over to a corner. I look over to see an easel and two chairs set up, ready with stff to paint. I smile and pull Art over.
"Okay Art, what do you want to paint?" She looks at the easel, and thinks for a second. She then smiles.
"I want to paint Theo, sissy!" I laugh a little at this, and put an apron on her. I put an apron on, and she smiles up at me.
"Okay, well why don't we start with his skin?" We start to paint, and every once in a while I tell her to do something. While she does that, I take out my sketch book and start drawing randomly. By the time I am done, Art is almost done. I look at what I am drawing and see that I drew my family, minus the two new kids we are getting tonight.
"Geneva! Tamaki just invited us to a halloween party! I want you to design my costume!" Suddenly Anna is coming after me, and I smile. She is such a weird child.
"Okay, what do you want to be?"
"Um... a witch! I want to be a witch!" I smile at this, and flip to a new page in my sketch book.
"Okay... give me a little, and I will show you the design..." That is basically what happens while we are at the host club, along with all of my sisters asking to become a different thing and asking me to create their costume. Even Theo asks, wanting to become a Vampire.
When we get home, I head straight to my room, getting out bolts of cloth and dress models, all magically coming out of my closet (or so it seems). Setting up, I think for a moment.
'Anna wants to be a witch... So maybe black fabric with light purple ribbons? Theo wants to be a vampire, so I'll give him a large black coat, and a top hat... Toxi should be a dark fairy, she said fairy but didn't specify... Oooo! Sachii said she didn't want to stand out as much, so I'll make her a princess of roses! Art should be a goddess, maybe a light goddess? Vecci should definitely be a vampire chic with a lolita twist... To top it all off, Axel can be a dark angel! Wait, should they wear wigs?' This is what happened, as I cut, measure, and sew. The dress forms are already set to their sizes, since I have one for each member of my family. I'll have to pull out my old child dress forms for the new ones, since I can't leave them out. I'll have to see what they want to be. I heard the elementary have trick and treating on halloween night, which is the same night as the halloween party at the school. Wait, if mom and dad take them trick and treating, then I shall have to make costumes for them
"We're home! Come meet the new members of the family!" I jump at this, almost impaling my self with a needle. With pin cushion still on my wrist and pencil in my hair, I run downstairs to see the rest of the family trying to see behind mom and dad.
"Now that we are all here, I would like to present Olivia Sutman and Lily Gustor." Mom and dad step away to reveal two little girls, about 7 years old. They hold each others hands, and one has their thumb in their mouth. One has dark brown hair cut at shoulder length, and the other blonde hair that is cut at a long bob.
"Um... Geneva we need your multiple language expertise. They both speak German." I look at mom, and raise my eye. This is the first time we have gotten German orphans, since we have either gotten Japanese or English children. I get down at eye level with the two of them, and lok them in the eyes. They both have brown eyes.
"Hi! I'm Geneva. Who is Lily, and who is Olivia?"
"I'm Lily." The blonde speaks.
"I'm Olivia. Your pretty."The brunette takes her thumb out of her mouth, and smiles at me.
"Why thank you!" I look up at mom and dad, "Anything I should tell them, ask them, ect.?"
"Yes. Their favorite colors and tell them that they will be in the guest bedroom tonight." Mom says this, and I look back at the two girls.
"Okay. Tonight you'll be in the guest bedrooms, and tomorrow we will have your rooms ready. Just so we know, what are your favorite colors?"
"I like purple and gold." Olivia grabs my hand, and Lily takes my other.
"I like pink and green. Do we really get our own rooms?"
"Yes. Now why don't we go to my room? You can help me design halloween costumes, and I can make some for you." I stand up, and look at mom and dad. "Oliva, the brunette, likes purple and gold, and Lily likes pink and green. I'm going to take them to my room, and make them halloween costumes. You two are getting them too. You should see about getting them a japanese tutor."
"We know a little Japan!" I look down at Olivia and smile.
"Good! But we are going to touch it up. Soon you'll be talking like you were born in Japan." I lead them up to my room, where I sit them on the bed. Walking into my closet, I pull out two children dress models for girls. Walking back to the bed, I set the models on the floor.
"So who is going to be first? This way, I won't have to use you as live models."
"I'll go first. Are you going to design our clothes?" Lily jumps off of the bed and stands in the middle of the room.
"No! I'm going to make halloween costumes for you two. Though the measurements will go to our designer for her to use." I take out a measuring tape and start my measurments, working around Lily's plain blue dress. Mom and Dad must have waited to get them new clothes until we got here since our designer is Japanese.
Once I finish Lily, I put her measurements into the dress form. Olivia gets off of the bed, and I take her measurements. I repeat the same process with the form while Lily looks at the black and blue witch costume I have almost finished. She examines my drawings of each costume, and looks at me.
"Can I be anything I want to be?"
"Me too?"
"Yup! Now, what do you want to be Lily?"
"I want to be a pink ballerina!"
"What about you Olivia?"
"A purple kitty!"
"Okay, well, why don't we sit down and I'll sketch a design for you two." They both nod in agrement, and I grab my sketchbook. In a few minutes I have finished a little ballerina dressed in pink with lots of green ribbons, and in anoother few minutes I have a neko kitty with purple fur and a gold little skirt to make it cute. It's more of a purple dress, purple cat ears and tail, and the dress has a gold layer on top. It pleases both of them, and I get started.
Olivia and Lily insist on staying, and fall asleep on my bed. I look at the time, and see that it is 9 pm. I look at my work and see a witch, two vampires, and a goddess complete. I should be finished by tomorrow with all of my family members costumes.
Next Day
"Mom, Dad! I'm taking Olivia and Lily with me to school!"
"But they don't start until tomorrow!"
"I know, but we need to get them used to Japanese schooling. I bet the teachers won't mind, and they will be good girls, won't you two." I look at Olivia and Lily who nod. Today they are wearing old clothes of mine, we get them clothes today after school. I sent in measurements just this morning when I woke up, and knowing our designer, she will have clothes ready when we get to her house. Lily opted for a pink hoodie and a black skirt, along with green leggings and a green tanktop. Oliia fund my old neko hoodie, which is luckily purple, and put it on along with black jeans and a pink tanktop with gold designs. On both of their feet they wear tennis shoes, a little dirty but they fit them and are the only thing they have from the orphanage that look presentable.
"Fine! Remember, their appointment is at 4, I know that's an hour after school so you should have plenty of time. Bye girls!"
"Bye-bye mommy!" Oivia and Lily got used to the family quickly it seems, calling me sissy and such. Then again, they are probably used to it. I take their hands, and walk outside. It is a nice fall day, with 65 degree weather. I wear my favorite blue hoodie, with bear ears on it. I check the time and see that we have plenty of time to walk to school, seeing that it is only a few blocks away.
When we get to school, the first few kids are getting there. I walk in and head to the classroom, where all of my teachers are sitting making sure the schedule is set for the day. I knock, and walk in with Olivia and Lily.
"Hello~! I just came to ask if it was okay if I brought my new sisters Lily and Olivia in for the day. Their from Germany, and don't start until tomorrow, but I want them to see Japanese schooling before they start since they have a different system in Japan.
The teachers look at each other and shrug. Miss Summers comes up and nods.
"Sure, just as long as they don't disrupt class. They can sit beside you. I'll tell the Janitor to bring in two chairs." She leaves, and the other teachers follow. I lead Olivia and Lily to my desk and it them both on the desk so that they are more at eye level with me.
"You two are going to need to be good girls while here. No talking during class, unless I say you can. And stay near me or Theo. I don't want you running off." They both nod, and I smile. I give tem hugs, just as the janitor comes in with two chairs with padding in them. When Lily and Olivia sit in them, they look like a normal kid sitting down. At least if that kid had a really childish face.
"Thanks." The Janitor nods, and leaves. He passes Kyoya as he walks in, and Kyoya sees me and two children.
"Are those the new ones? Why did you bring them here?"
I explain, and then sit in my desk. I reach into my book bag and take out the games that I brought. I had grabbed the girls games before I left, since I knew that they liked playing them. I handed the gameboys to Lily and Olivia, and they start playing.
"Now, the blonde is Lily, and he brunette is Olivia. Girls, this is Kyoya." they look up and wave, then go back to their games.
Class goes by without a hitch, people ask who Olivia and Lily are, but the teacher explains. She even gives them some pencils and papers that are ment for their level of study. By free period though, Olivia is angry.
"It doesn't make sense!" She throws her pencil at the ground, and I take a look at her has some words down, but they are horribly misspelled.
"It's okay Olivia, it doesn't need to make sense right now. Why don't you draw me a picture?" I hand her a new sketch pad, and a pack of colored pencils. I also hand Lily a sketch pad and pack of colored pencils. They both get on the ground and start drawing and coloring, completely distracted.
"How do you do it Geneva? I can't even learn German, much less take care of two German children!" I look at Theo, and smile.
"You have to stay calm. Something you seem to have troubles doing." I sit down at my desk and pull out my homework that I just got. I have always been good at staying on top, even getting work done during class. I start answering questions, and soon Olivia looks up at me.
"Looky! I made a pretty picture! It's you in a costume." I look down at the picture and smile, seeing a very good drawing for a seven yearold. I pick up the picture, and examine it.
"I made you a picture too!" Lily hands me a seven year old drawing, and I smile. It is a bunch of people in a row, with names over each one. It's our family.
"Very good! Draw me some more!"I turn back to my work, and get it finished. I put away my work and look around to see that Olivia and Lily moved. Now they are over with Theo, who is talking to Tamaki. Tamaki pulls two flowers out of thin air and hand them to the girls, and they both look confused.
"Tamaki! Don't flirt with children who don't even know what flirting is!" I get up and walk over to them, and Olivia and Lily run over to me.
"This weird guy wants us to go to a party!"
"A HUUUUGGGE party, where we all dress up in Halloween costumes!"
"Wait, you two got that from him talking in Japanese?" They shake their heads no, and I look over at Tamaki.
"Hey! Turns out their orphanage taught them all French! I just spoke in French." I roll my eyes, since I too know french, but never thought the two would know it. I look back down at the girls, and they smile at me. I smile back, and take their hands.
"You two want to go to lunch? It is almost lunch time." I point at the clock, and it is actually noon. I hear the bell ing for lunch, and they nod their heads. I walk down to lunch, and along the way Huni and Mori catch up with me.
"Gen-chan! Who are these two?" Huni nods at Lily and Olivia, and I smile.
"This is Lily," I hold up Lily's hand which is held in mine, "and this is Olivia." I hold up Olivia's hand in the same manner. "They're from Germany."
"Oh! Now we can practice German! I'n Huni, and this is Mori! It's nice to meet you!" Huni looks at the girls, and they smile, nodding. We get into the lunch room, and suddenly Lily is very shy around so many people. She tries to hide behind me, and Olivia does the same to imitate her.
I get into line, and order food for me and them. When I get it, I have to let go of their hands so that I can give them their trays. I take mine, and we three go to the table where the rest of the family, minu Art and Anna of course, are sitting with the host club. Theo managed to find two booster chairs for the girls and he put them in two chairs, one beside him and one across from him. Lily sits across from him and Olivia sits beside him, while I sit beside Lily.
As we eat, the Hiitachin twins come over to us. They look at Lily, then at Olivia, and then at me.
"You do know they have their appointment today, right?"
"Yes. Your mom told us to come over at 4. Hey, any idea what she has planned? I sent her measurements this morning, but I can't imagine what she would do. These two are skiiiiinnyyy!" I poke Lily in the stomach as I say this and make her giggle. I look at her face and roll my eyes at it. She has ice cream all over her face, since I got them small bowls of icecream for a treat. I take a napkin and wipe off her face, making her squirm.
"Don't do that!" I hold her face still as I clean it, and she lets me. Once done, I put the dirty napkin on her plate and see that Olivia is done too. She managed to not spread ice cream on her face though.I finish my food, and get up, taking all three trays away.
When I get back, the twins are trying to get the girls to laugh, but it is harder since they are talking in Japanese for the girls. Now that I think about it, the girls act so much like sisters or twins. In fact, everyone in our family who are the same age are theoretically twins, since there are two for the ages we have. Axel and Toxi are the old twins, Theo and I are the real twins, Vecci and Sachii are the middle twins, and Art and Anna are the young twins. I guess these two will be the baby twins, since they are so cute like babies.
"Geneva, I was wondering, what is your costume for the ball?" Theo turns is attention to me, and everyone else look at me for an answer. I seriously hadn't thought about my costume, but I can't tell Theo that, nor anyone else.
"It's. A Secret." I smile, and start thinking about what to make for my costume. Suddenly, Mom and Dad are running in here.
"Geneva, the girls have to go, their appointment got changed." Mom says this, as dad talks on his cellphone. I nod, and help Lily and Olivia out of their chairs.
"Mom, I figured it out. We don't have to change Art and Anna's nickname, we can call these ones the baby twins." I look at mom, and she contemplates this quickly.
"How about the little twins? Baby twins sounds too... young. They won't be babies for long."
"They aren't babies now." Theo grumbles, and mom starts to take the girls away. Wait, why is mom's hair down? She always...
"Wait! I have a question for you." I stop her, and she turns back around, and I think quickly.
"Wait are all of your children's names, from oldest to youngest?" Something you can't get unless you know more about us. She starts rattling off names.
"Toxi, Axel, Geneva, Theo, Vecci, Sachii, Lily, Olivia." She says this, and I know something is wrong.
"Wrong. Theo is older than me by ten minutes." I punch the lady in the face, and she stumbles backwards. The movement makes her hair move to the side, sothat you can tell it is a wig. She keeps her hold on the girls though.
"Geneva!" Theo gets up and comes after me, and I run after the lady who is running. Suddenly, I am knocked down by the man who was pretending to be dad, and he pins me to the ground. Theo almost stops to help me, but I point at the woman who is running out of the cafeteria with the girls.
"Look princess, I would rather not hurt a pretty girl like you. But we need those two girls. Our employers want them." He struggles to keep me down, and I look around for help. The cafeteria is in mayhem, what with everyone screaming about what is happening. As I struggle, the man makes the mistake of letting go of one of my hands so he can touch my face, like some pervert. I take the hand he lets go of and smack him, making him shift slightly. He gives up on my hands and closes his hand s around my neck. As I struggle, I start to feel light headed. As my mind starts to go numb, I feel like a thousand pounds have been lifted off of me, then my mind blacks out.
Ooooooooooooooooooooooo, cliffy! So, I cam up with a new chapter marker, but I think I will keep usieng the other one for my other stories. Anyways, thanks for reading! I don'tknow when the next chapter will come out, but it will have the ball in it. Since this story is going to be short, I am going to make every chapter really long, like this one. This is one of the longest chapters I have ever written.
